The waiting game

You sit there, twiddling thumbs, chewing fingernails or whatever passes time away when you’re waiting for something. I called MX2 earlier today to enquire as to where the MicroSD card I ordered last week was, it turns out they’re also waiting… for more stock.

The guy on the phone said that the 2GB card I ordered was popular, so when they have them in, they’re gone in no time which is understandable when they’re £1 cheaper than even Play.com at £16.99, I guess the only difference is, is Play have more stock. I’m not that bothered though, if it means saving even £1, I’m willing to wait. It’s not that I’m ‘cheap’ or whatever, I just prefer to pay what appears to be the best price and if I can find places that are cheaper than elsewhere, I’ll buy from there.

Saying that though, I looked on Amazon earlier today and did a little test, I found that 4 1GB MicroSD cards would cost around £33, that’s not too bad, but considering the cards cost £3.91 each, it’s £18 for P&P. That’s the problem when you’re not buying from Amazon and just through them, you’re charged P&P and that can bump the price up.

Anyhoo, back to waiting… patiently… with my DS.

admin on the Nisan, stealing our posts

As also noticed by fellow WordPress blogger Larko, someone appears to be ’stealing’ what seems to be every post on WordPress. I wondered why my ‘R4DS’ post had been sent a trackback and visited the link to what I found to be an exact copy of the post, I suppose it was a pointless thing to do, but I left a response asking to remove it or at least post a summary and as the comment was held for moderation, I’m guessing ‘he’ doesn’t even bother reading all the posts and just harvests them for some unknown inane reason.

It’s nice to see when someone has linked back to you or just left a trackback, but to take the whole post is just not on, so if this ‘admin on the Nisan’ can be blocked from WordPress, then our blogs will remain our own and not some content stealing idiot that seems to be on some kind of pointless exercise.
